Creating and Managing Standard Assignment Groups

You can create standard assignment groups. A Standard Assignment Group is a standard grouping of beds used to develop assignments. Standard Assignment Groups are used in both POC and eMAR. Standard Assignment Groups can be edited, deleted, and printed.

Standard Assignment setup allows staff to filter to see just the residents in their assigned group. If resident assignments differ from shift to shift, different assignment groups can be created.

Note

All active beds in a facility must be added to an Assignment Group, even if the room they are assigning is being used for offices. If a resident isn’t assigned to that room, it does not show on the assignment.

Warning

POC and eMAR do not function if Standard Assignment Groups are not set up.

  2. Drag and drop the available beds to the assignment you want on the left side of the screen. Ctrl+click to select multiple beds.
